The White-streak Monocle Bream is also known as Saw-jawed. We are not sure why, but then again we’ve never seem open their mouths…
Anyway these fish are reasonably easy to identify when we’re out SCUBA diving…

What an amazing trip with Chaloklum Diving! The two dives at Sail Rock were absolutely mind-blowing—what a stunning spot! I recommend this shop 200%. The staff is super friendly, professional, and easy-going. Great breakfast, delicious lunch with several options, and snacks with electrolytes after each dive... what more could you ask for? Special mention for Michael, who was an incredible instructor throughout the day. So much great advice! I felt confident from the beginning to the end diving by his side. Thank you so much Michael, your experience speaks for itself and you share the vibe just as it should be 🙏 I will remember this trip forever!Posted on Google

Strato Touloumtzis5 October 2026Sowohl der Inhaber als auch die Tauchlehrer der Tauchschule sind sehr freundlich und kompetent. Man fühlt sich direkt gut aufgehoben und es herrscht eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre. Die Preise sind fair, transparent und ohne versteckte Zusatzkosten. Ich kann die Tauchschule uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und komme definitiv wieder!Posted on Google
Sarah Bouwer21 September 2026Amazing experience with Chaloklum Diving! Nick was so helpful from the moment I messaged him for information, to setting up the dive. He is super knowledgeable and personable and I immediately knew this was the right company to go with. Jess was our dive guide and she was amazing! Not only was she super clear in her briefings, she was really conscientious of everyone while we were diving. As an instructor, she was also helpful in providing tips for the second dive for things that she noticed which greatly enhanced the dives. She was even so thoughtful in taking photos of us throughout the dive and then sharing them with us afterwards! This was definitely the best experience diving I’ve had in Koh Phangan - thank you for such a great experience!Posted on Google
Natalie Kotrc20 September 2026In den letzten drei Tagen habe ich meine Open Water Diver Lizenz bei dem Instructor Michi absolviert und ich kann ehrlich sagen: Ohne seine Unterstützung hätte ich den Kurs wahrscheinlich abgebrochen. Gerade bei meinem ersten Freiwassertauchgang war ich komplett überfordert und irgendwie wie paralysiert. Ich wusste plötzlich überhaupt nicht mehr, was ich machen soll. Michi hat es aber geschafft, mir während unserer gesamten Tauchgänge immer wieder meine Unsicherheiten zu nehmen und mir stattdessen Sicherheit und Vertrauen zu geben. Man merkt einfach total, wie viel Leidenschaft bei ihm dahintersteckt. Das eigene Wohlbefinden sowie das der Meereslebewesen stehen für Michi wirklich an erster Stelle. Gleichzeitig hat er mir nicht einfach nur die nötige Theorie für die Lizenz beigebracht, sondern auch das Warum dahinter. Ich habe durch Michi so viel über die Hintergründe des Tauchens gelernt, warum man bestimmte Dinge auf eine bestimmte Art und Weise macht und weshalb die einzelnen Skills überhaupt so wichtig sind. Gerade in einer Zeit, in der OWD-Lizenzierungen teilweise wie am Fließband abgefertigt werden, fand ich diese super persönliche Art der Ausbildung wirklich besonders. Deshalb nochmal ein riesengroßes Dankeschön an dich, Michi! Ich kann die gesamte Tauchschule wirklich von Herzen empfehlen. Wir wurden super lieb empfangen, haben uns von Anfang an wohlgefühlt und hatten einfach eine richtig tolle Zeit!Posted on Google

Elle Thexton14 September 2026An incredible dive school with incredible instructors. At the last minute I decided to take my open water cert and was not disappointed by how professional yet friendly and down to earth Chaloklum dive shop was. Getting my cert was amazing, but what made it an extra special experience was my amazing dive instructor, Jess! If you get the chance to dive in Chaloklum I’d highly recommend this school, and highly recommend asking for Jess! She made the experience so awesome with her calming, professional and informative demeanour. She was so supportive, friendly, fun and such a wealth of knowledge in diving! Thank you Jess for being so great. Book with these guys, you won’t regret it! ☺️Posted on Google
Diego PEQUERUL13 September 2026J'ai passé mon niveau Advanced Open Water dans ce club et j'ai également fait quelques fun dives. Je ne peux que le recommander ! C'est une structure à taille humaine, parfaite pour progresser. Le propriétaire est quelqu'un de très honnête et bienveillant, dont le seul objectif est de vous faire passer un super moment tout en partageant sa passion. Allez-y les yeux fermés, vous ne serez pas déçus. Un grand merci à Jessica et Michael qui m'ont énormément appris !Posted on Google
Tim Guhse10 September 2026Made my Open Water License at this Diving school. Everyone was very kind and I got to learn a lot. I was well trained and prepared for diving. My instructor Jess was very kind and competent! For the open water dive we went to sail rock, which was an astonishingly beautiful diving spot. Amazing time, I can absolutely recommend this Diving schoolLoad more
